HC Deb 15 May 1961 vol 640 cc922-3
38. Mrs. Butler

asked the Minister of Health what decision he has made with regard to an inquiry into the appointment of a new secretary to the Board of Governors of the Hammersmith Post-Graduate Teaching Hospital Group.

Mr. Powell

I cannot yet add to the reply I gave the hon. Member on 1st May.

Mrs. Butler

That was a fortnight ago, and the Minister said he would look into the matter as soon as possible. In view of the widespread concern both inside and outside the hospital service about this appointment, and his own duty in the matter, will the Minister deal with it more expeditiously and come to a decision very soon?

Mr. Powell

I recognise the urgency of a decision.
